10 tips to save on your car rental in and around Girdwood

  • Use filters to find the right car: Refine your search by selecting vehicle type and specific features. Whether you’re looking for an SUV for extra space, a convertible for summer fun, or an economy car for budget-friendly options, utilize the filters on Expedia to discover the ideal match for your trip.
  • Book in advance to help lower costs: Rental prices can vary based on demand, so it's wise to secure your vehicle well ahead of your journey. By booking early, you’re more likely to access lower rates and enjoy a wider selection, particularly during busy travel seasons.
  • Consider a smaller car for savings: Smaller vehicles are typically more affordable to rent and easier to maneuver in crowded areas. Mid-size cars strike a good balance between cost, comfort, and fuel efficiency.
  • Age guidelines: Drivers under 30 may encounter higher deposits or daily fees, and some vehicle categories—such as SUVs or luxury models—might not be available. This can also apply to renters over 70. Always verify the age requirements before finalizing your booking.
  • Check fuel policies: Some rental agreements require a full-to-full fuel policy, meaning you must return the car with a full tank to avoid extra charges. This is often the most favorable option. Others may provide full-to-empty or prepaid fueling alternatives, which are acceptable as well. Just ensure you return the car empty in that scenario.
  • Save on city and airport pickups: Picking up your rental car at airports often incurs a surcharge, but the convenience may justify the extra cost.
  • Know your payment options: Many car rental companies primarily accept credit cards for payment.
  • Understand your insurance coverage: Car rental insurance can protect you from unexpected expenses and provide peace of mind during your trip. Adding car rental insurance when booking through Expedia is simple and straightforward.
  • Consider unlimited mileage: If you plan to embark on long road trips, look for rental options that offer unlimited mileage to prevent additional fees.
  • Bring your driver's license and ID: To rent a car, you must present a valid driver's license.
